COMPLIANCES

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, (example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices) any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters (8 inches) between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

SMC declared that SMCWBR14-G is limited in CH1~11 from 2400 to 2483.5 MHz by specified firmware controlled in USA.

Industry Canada - Class B

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1) this device may not cause interference and

2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus,” ICES-003 of the Department of Communications.

Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans la norme sur le matériel brouilleur: “Appareils Numériques,” NMB-003 édictée par le ministère des Communications.

This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 1.43 dBi.

Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the EIRP is not more than required for successful communication.

To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding.

Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.

Installing the Wireless Barricade g Router

Hardware Description

The Wireless Barricade can be connected to the Internet or to a remote site using its WAN port. It can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the Fast Ethernet LAN ports.

Although access speed to the Internet is determined by your service type and the modem type connected to the Wireless Barricade, data passing between the devices connected to your local area network can run up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Enternet ports.

The Wireless Barricade includes an LED display on the front panel for system power and port indications that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. It also provides four RJ-45 LAN ports and one RJ-45 WAN port on the rear panel.

• Four Ethernet ports for connection to a 10BASE-T/

100BASE-TX Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). These ports can auto-negotiate the operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X (i.e., allowing these ports to be connected to any network device with straight-through cable). These ports can be connected directly to a PC or to a server equipped with an Ethernet network interface card, or to a networking device such as an Ethernet hub or switch.

• One RJ-45 port for connection to a DSL or cable modem

(WAN). This port also auto-negotiates operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X.

System Requirements

• Internet access from your local telephone company or Internet

Service Provider (ISP) using a DSL modem or cable modem.

• A PC using a fixed IP address or dynamic IP address

assigned via DHCP, as well as a gateway server address and DNS server address from your service provider.

• A computer equipped with a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or

10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet card, or a USB-to-Ethernet converter.

• TCP/IP network protocol installed on each PC that needs to

access the Internet.

• A Java-enabled web browser, such as Microsoft Internet

Explorer 5.5 or above, Firefox 1.0 or Mozilla 1.7 installed on one PC at your site for configuring the Wireless Barricade.

Connect the System

The Wireless Barricade can be positioned at any convenient location in your office or home. No special wiring or cooling requirements are needed. You should, however comply with the following guidelines:

• Keep the Wireless Barricade away from any heating devices.

• Do not place the Wireless Barricade in a dusty or wet

environment.

You should also remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when you install the Wireless Barricade.

Connect the System

Basic Installation Procedure

1. Connect the LAN: Connect the Wireless Barricade to your

PC, or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the rear of the Wireless Barricade to your computer’s network adapter or to another network device. You may also connect the Wireless Barricade to your PC (using a wireless client adapter) via radio signals.

2. Connect the WAN: Use an Ethernet cable for connecting the Wireless Barricade

3. Power on: Connect the power adapter to the Wireless Barricade.

Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling

Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the four LAN ports on the Wireless Barricade to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, you can cascade any of the LAN ports on the Wireless Barricade to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect your PC or other network equipment to the hub or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.

Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45

port. This may damage the Wireless Barricade. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards.

CONFIGURING

CLIENT TCP/IP

To access the Internet through the Wireless Barricade, you must configure the network settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet as the Wireless Barricade. The default network settings for the Wireless Barricade are:

Gateway IP Address: 192.168.2.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Note: These settings may be changed to suit your network

requirements, but you must first configure at least one computer as described in this chapter to access the Wireless Barricade’s web configuration interface. See “Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router” on page 20 for information on configuring the Wireless Barricade.

The IP address of the connected client PC should be 192.168.2.x (where x means 2–254). You can set the IP address for client PCs either by automatically obtaining an IP address from the Wireless Barricade’s DHCP service or by manual configuration.
